| Adobe AIR Rich Internet Applications | Adobe Systems | Executable Files |
The AIR file extension is associated with Adobe AIR. This software was developed by Adobe Systems, Incorporated and released in 2008. It allows Adobe AIR applications to be installed on a user’s computer, which will enable them to access rich internet applications, which are otherwise not available in traditional web browsers.
The AIR installation package utilises the same runtime engine as Flash applications and programs. The installation package enables developers to create an AIR application with Flash or Flex and will create an AIR file, which can be installed on any platform. Using the package, developers are able to create local/offline applications using existing web services or APIs that can be integrated into another application.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AIR) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AIR extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AIR file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AIR extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AIR extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AIR file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AIR file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AIR file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AIR file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AIR file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
